Tart cranberry flavor blends nicely with mustard and horseradish in this out-of-the-ordinary cracker spread from field editor Maria Hattrup of Sparks, Nevada. It’s quick to fix, too.

This is one of my favorite appetizers and I make it all the time!

Very easy to put together. My husband loved it...I only liked it a little bit. The cranberry sauce was too overpowering for me. I was expecting all the flavors to blend better together. Maybe less cranberries.

 Instead of horseradish, a co-worker of mine uses a small amount of finely chopped jalapeños. Depending on how much "kick" you want, I suggest starting with one, then add more to taste. You may also want to remove the seeds since they are what gives the pepper its heat.

This sounds wonderful, except for I don't care for horseradish. Can someone suggest an alternative?
